As creatives we all have visions of what that perfect session would be like. Often when your passion becomes your career it's easy to lose track of what drives and inspires you. Every once in while between sessions I think it is so important I plan these styled shoots to ignite my creative side, captivate my clients and make sure my audience see's who I really am as a creative. This summer all I could think about is that gorgeous golden sunset light, horses in a beautiful country setting and of course dresses that wow, on a gal or two that love horses as much as I do! Because of some awesome friends I was able to make this vision a reality! Thank you so much to Sam Rose and my daughter, Meekah Marie for putting up with me, being so much fun to work with and of course absolutely killing it in front of my lens!! And thank you to Janelle for opening up the land and putting in all the work it took to prep the horses for the shoot!! Sam Rose did a spectacular job on her makeup, creating that perfect glowing look I was wanting! Also wearing the perfect bohemian styled maxi dress, from free people. Meekah Marie wore a gown designed by myself and my grandmother! You might be able to imagine what it's like, seeing her in something my grandmother an I worked on together, knowing I will have this piece and hopefully several more for future sessions, is also a dream! So thank you grandma for making this gown a reality!!
I really tried to push myself to try new techniques, using the light in ways that I haven't before, to create images that are unique and to continue to push myself to grow and learn! We all should do this, no matter what it is that we might do. Keep pushing, find your edge and really just be you.. Because when you put yourself in new and uncomfortable situations, quite often, the best version of yourself is discovered..
